20 July, 2022 will mark the third year of the Bengal Pride Awards at the House of Commons, London, dedicated to celebrating the achievements of the Bengali ethnic community from India and Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

The Bengali community has been, for decades, contributing to growth not just across South Asia but right across the globe. This is nowhere more evident than in the United Kingdom, where nearly half a million Bengalis live, thrive and excel in every sphere of life.<\/p>\n

Anna Firth, MP and our Chairperson said: \u201cI\u2019m so proud to be part of the Bengal\u2019s Pride Awards. It\u2019s such a great way to celebrate the Bengali culture, heritage and contribution the Bengalis are making to the UK and the global economy and society. The organisers have decided to create a very special Sir David Amess Memorial Award to remember his sacrifice and contribution to make Soundend on Sea a city.\u201d<\/p>\n

The awards were created to recognise community members who have made significant contributions but have never been recognised for their efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bengal Pride Awards provide an opportunity to bring forth such individuals, showcase their accomplishments, and the worthy winner is chosen by an independent panel of judges. In recent years we have recognised some incredible individuals who would not have been known in the community otherwise,\u201d said one of the Trustees, Liji George.<\/p>\n

Goutam Ghosh, our Brand Ambassador said: \u201cIt\u2019s indeed a great pleasure for me to join the team of Bengal\u2019s Pride Awards 2022\u2026 lets nominate those individuals who are making great contributions to our societies to make it great. I\u2019ll be there to celebrate the success stories along with you all.”<\/p>\n

Samit Biswas, Trustee Advatech Foundation said: \u201cThis is the 100 years birth centenary of Bangladesh\u2019s first PM, Sheikh Majib and 50 years of Bhasha Dibas, and both these dates are important to the Bengali sentiment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Draw up a list of the greatest academics and professors in UK, the greatest doctors, the greatest artistes across the nation or some of the most successful media personalities, chances are your list will include several names from the Bengali community.<\/p>\n
